My life as a plant reader began early in my childhood. These
formative years were richly blessed with many caretakers who
were wise to the ways of the earth and heavens. I didn't realize
how unusual or lucky this was until I was old enough to begin
searching out a different level of learning through books and
formalized paths of what the western world model defines as
education. Of course my most organic and powerful example of
the western model was my mother. She was very gifted as both
a student and teacher of many classical subjects.
For about a decade I learned about flower medicine and its
various ceremonies primarily in an academic sense. Then I
became a mother and this change seemed to unleash a gift for
developing various methods of merging the two styles of gaining
knowledge & practical awareness. All told I've been immersed
in studying flowers and their various properties for at least 45 of
my 47 years. I also started sewing very young -- long before I
was in kindergarten.
The recurring meditation-based image of a beauteous sparkling
lotus flower first started finding me in my late thirties. At the time I
was heavily immersed in my part of building and maintaining a
co-creative garden space. It was my third such gardening
endeavor and the beginning of my practical experience with
flower essence preparation. As I explored their efficacy at a
personal level, I grew curious to know if I'd also produced healing
remedies that could have a positive impact on others as well.
This lead to a five year research project which in turn lead to the
Sparkling Lotus Flower Essence Handbook. The book is the first
in a trilogy about flower medicine. I'm currently working on drafts
for the other two volumes.
